In a few short weeks we will welcome the return of Across STL magazine - a collection of authentic and up-to date perspectives centered on all things St. Louis. From the front porch of the Gateway Arch, to the back yard of Wine Country and the Katy Trail, St. Louis is heating up, and we're going to show you why.

In our next issue it's all about spark - who's leading the way as the St. Louis Central Corridor catches fire and becomes the center of economic development? We'll check in with Jim McKelvey, founder of Square, to see how he keeps the flame lit in his business and what he sees to be St. Louis' biggest opportunity. And what's with that 8 billion dollar uptick in development that we've all heard about? - we'll share with you who's doing it and what's in store for the future.

At Across STL we think that helping spark positive conversation is what the region needs the most. It's good for those who live here and really good for those who may consider moving here someday. So we'll take a deep dive into an exciting movement that's making a difference in our collective narrative, #STLMADE - where you can Start up, Stand out, and Stay.

Don't be left out. Trailnet and the Katy Land Trust have done it again. Go to www.AcrossSTL.com and sign up for volume three.
